UK announces plans to demolish shell of Grenfell Tower almost eight years after fire that killed 72

SeattlePI.com Friday, 7 February 2025 ()
The U.K. government has announced plans to dismantle the remains of London’s Grenfell Tower. The announcement on Friday came almost eight years after the deadliest fire in Britain since World War II swept through the high-rise apartment building that killed 72 people. Some of those who lost loved ones in the fire that broke out in the early morning hours of June 14, 2017 have criticized the decision because they wanted to preserve the building’s charred skeleton as a monument to those who died. But the government said that redeveloping the site would help the community heal by removing the remains of the 24-story building.
